A luxury property owner is taking legal action against two residents for alleged harassment and defamation. On August 25, 2024, Jupiter Vista LLC filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Charles Hinson and Mary Hinson.

According to the complaint, Jupiter Vista LLC owns a luxury residential property at 16955 Haynie Lane in Jupiter, Florida. The company claims that since May 2022, Charles and Mary Hinson have engaged in a relentless campaign of harassment against the tenants and guests of this property. The alleged actions include creating fear among tenants and their children both inside and outside the property, making false reports to law enforcement and code enforcement, staging intimidating displays outside the property, engaging in scare tactics, and making defamatory statements about Jupiter Vista LLC’s business.

The plaintiff further alleges that these actions have included public intoxication, racist outbursts directed towards tenants and owners, and brandishing firearms at multiple individuals. This ongoing harassment has reportedly involved repeated police intervention and code enforcement actions. Jupiter Vista LLC asserts that a public records request revealed collusion between the defendants and a specific code enforcement officer who has been used as a “weapon of choice” by the defendants to cause more harm to the company.
